Who said eating “fit” has to be boring? This burrito with Smokin’ Brothers smoked salmon, avocado, Greek yoghurt and crunchy vegetables is made for anyone who goes to the gym, cares about what they eat, but still wants real flavour on the plate.
It’s a balanced, fresh and super quick recipe: perfect as a packed lunch for the office, a post‑workout dinner, or a smart alternative to the usual chicken and rice.
The tail cut of our smoked salmon is the real star here: not only packed with flavour, but also the most protein-rich part of the fish. If you’d like to dive deeper into the protein content of salmon, this article gives a handy overview.
Ingredients (for 1 burrito)
- 100 g Smokin’ Brothers smoked salmon (tail)
- 1 tortilla
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 small cucumber
- 3 yellow cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill
- tajin, to taste
- a pinch of smoked sea salt flakes
- pink peppercorns, to taste
Method
1. Prepare the vegetables
Cut the avocado into small cubes.
Peel the cucumber if you like, then chop it into small pieces.
Cut the yellow cherry tomatoes into quarters or small cubes.
Place everything in a bowl and add the chopped dill – this will be the fresh, aromatic base for your filling.
2. Prepare the salmon and the dressing
Cut the Smokin’ Brothers smoked salmon (tail) into small cubes and add it to the bowl with the avocado, cucumber and tomatoes.
Add:
- the Greek yoghurt
- the juice of half a lemon
- a pinch of smoked sea salt flakes
- roughly crushed pink peppercorns
- tajin to taste (for a spicy, citrusy kick)
Mix well until you get a creamy filling that still has texture, without turning it into a paste.
3. Assemble the burrito
Lightly warm the tortilla in a pan (optional but recommended – it becomes softer and easier to roll).
Place the filling slightly below the centre of the tortilla, leaving a bit of space at the top and bottom.
Then:
- fold the two sides in towards the centre
- start rolling from the bottom, keeping it fairly tight, until you seal the burrito and give it its classic shape
If you like, you can seal the burrito by toasting it for a minute in the pan on the seam side.
This smoked salmon burrito is perfect as a post‑workout meal, rich in protein and good fats, practical to take with you, and a great alternative to salads and bowls when you’re craving something a bit more comforting but still on the lighter side.
A simple, quick and flavour‑packed idea for anyone who wants to eat well without giving up on taste.
